Product Information
Full details
The Dulux Daffodil White Colour Tester is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to trial a specific yellow-tinted white shade before committing to a larger project. It offers a convenient, low-stakes way to see how the matt finish interacts with your room's specific lighting and decor, though the small 30ml volume means it is strictly for spot-testing rather than covering large areas.

FAQs
Can I use this on furniture?
This product is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings. It may not provide the necessary durability for high-wear items like furniture.
How many coats should I apply for testing?
Apply one to two coats to ensure the true colour is represented, especially if the current wall colour is dark.
Is the paint safe for children's rooms?
As a water-based interior paint, it is suitable for typical home environments, but always ensure proper ventilation during and after application.
Does it need a primer?
While the paint has high opacity, a primer is recommended if you are painting over a very dark or stained surface to ensure the truest colour match.
How do I clean my brush after using the tester?
Because it is water-based, simply rinse your brush thoroughly with warm, soapy water immediately after use.
Will the matt finish highlight wall bumps?
No, a matt finish is actually ideal for hiding minor surface imperfections and texture irregularities on walls and ceilings.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears streaky or thin
Ensure the surface is properly cleaned and primed. If the wall is highly porous, the paint may absorb too quickly; apply a second thin layer once the first is dry.
Colour looks different than expected
Consider the light source. Test the paint in both morning and evening light, as the yellow undertones of Daffodil White will react differently to warm incandescent light versus cool daylight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before applying the tester, ensure your target surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease to get the most accurate colour reading. Shake the pot well before opening to ensure the pigment is evenly distributed. Once applied, allow the patch to dry completely, as the shade may shift slightly from its wet appearance. Keep the container sealed when not in use to prevent the paint from thickening or drying out, and store in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures.
